Next month starts on Saturday. This is also highly dodgy. Call Fairwork asap tomorrow. They would have to have a really convincing excuse to not pay you out in accordance with your regular pay schedule. And that’s about as far as they can delay payment. Also you would have accumulated at least some leave entitlement also even if only a few days.
I’d be withholding work in that case. “Here’s the laptop. Shove it up your ass and if I don’t see the pay next month I’m going to fair work and contacting every client to say you screwed me!”
They’re withholding this months pay until next month. Because my last day is the 25th, they want me to return the laptop etc which is fine.
But now I won’t be paid for 6 weeks!!!

That doesn’t sound right. You might need to contact the Fair work about this.
If you were living week to week this would be devastating.
exactly
that an employer would do this is shameful
workers need their pay
and employers should be thinking of worst case scenarios where food needs to be bought for children, vital medicine, etc etc.
call fairwork asap
If you call fairwork or an employment lawyer you might get your gardening leave…
that doesn’t sound legal.
Um…is that even legal?

When you get it use some of that pay for a bottle of bubbly. You know, for when they go under. If they last that long that is
